I signed up on a deal last year and its not now available. TT Pro would be interesting for me if I could get more than 8meg download and they offered a fixed IP. However it appears that fixed IP may not be available and I cannot get more than 8meg so its not worth it. My deal includes unlimited landline calls world wide and I dont think that is available either now certainly not at the price I'm paying, just under £22 a month  including broadband.

I've had a play with one of these (M-I-L got one off TT). It's pretty basic, with no tweakable bits in terms of snrm etc. that I've found, and no routerstats or DMT will work with it  :(

Just received my router and it is not a Echolife, but a Netgear DGN 2000.
